My Lego City Over The Years

Beginning back in the early 2010s, I really wanted to have a Lego City. It began when I got the Lego Police Station (Set 7498) for my birthday. I still have it largely kept together, even 14 years later. 4 years later I would get the Lego Modular Building Series Pet Shop (10218) and fall in love with the modular building line. I utilized a train table built at the time to have my lego city on it. It...wasn't much, but it was mine.

Over the years I would gain many more buildings. It would go as follows: 2017: Brick Bank, 2018: Detectives Office, 2019: Assembly Square, Parisian Restaurant, Bookshop, and Corner Garage. After catching up with the line, I would begin going to the Lego Store on NYD to get the new set, doing that from 2021-2023, with the Police Station, Boutique Hotel, and Jazz Club. Between 2020-2022, I would gain 3 more Modulars, Grand Emporium, Market Street, and designing and building my own Corner Grocery Store. I would gain the Tudor Corner for Christmas 2025, leaving me, with 16 Modulars.

Over the years, as I would gain more buildings at my dads house I would try different layouts. Starting with a simple street line on the floor, then moving the buildings to the table. After awhile, I would expand my table, bringing it to its current size. Eventually, I would rework my lego city's layout in 2021, to having a more dynamic street. This street has been added onto over the years, with the most recent change was replacing my custom modular building with Tudor Corner in Janurary 2026.
